USB issue with new motherboards

[Ashuraman]

So here's the thing: I installed a new Mobo today(ASUS H61M-K) and i can't get the USB ports to work. On the Device Manager the USB devices have a yellow triangle next to them and i get an error when i try to update the drivers(something about a missing entry?).I also tried to update the chipset for my Mobo(got the installer from the site) but no go either. Help!

if it is an older Windows install with a new motherboard it can lead to conflicts like these.
try reinstalling Windows and then installing your motherboard's drivers.

It's Windows 8.1 Pro X64. I have NO idea why the Chipset updates weren't working BUT, eventually trough a third party software, i managed to update the USB drivers and got them working

Try and switch the USB sticks around within the 2.0 & 3.0 USB Ports.

by "older Windows install" i just mean it was in use with your last motherboard, not a fresh install for the new board. there are lots of problems i've seen amount with systems from doing this.
but if you're not gaming or doing any intense processing you probably won't have much to worry about in regards to registry errors, losing system speed or gaining lag with devices. just browsing the web or simple media tasks don't take much resources or many special drivers and/or features of your system.

Oh if that's the case then yes it IS an older install.I actually DO game on my pc(One of the reasons i got the new motherboard was to get a new graphics card for more recent games) and so far i've had no registry errors, lag in games or speed loss of any kind

My Motherboard doesn't support 3.0 actually
